Verse 1
Alarm clock rings, it’s the same old song
Coffee in a paper cup, trying to stay strong
Traffic on the freeway, red tail-light sea
Dreams riding shotgun, whispering to me
Boss says “Kid, this is just how it goes”
But I see open doors where he sees closed
Got a notebook full of plans in my phone at night
Turning every little “maybe” to a neon light
⸻
Chorus
’Cause I’ve been running on two A.M. city lights
Writing my future in the darkness of the night
Every little setback just fuels my fire inside
I’m built for the long run, watch me come alive
I’m not stuck, I’m just loading up my flight
Dreams on the runway under two A.M. city lights
⸻
Verse 2
Clock-out time, but I’m clocking in again
Side hustle heartbeat, louder than it’s ever been
Posting all my visions, turning views into gold
Every “no” I ever heard is just a story I’ll tell when I’m old
Friends say “Why don’t you just slow down?”
But they don’t hear the echo of my future in this town
I’m learning every lesson that the hard days teach
Turning every single failure to a victory speech
⸻
Chorus
’Cause I’ve been running on two A.M. city lights
Writing my future in the darkness of the night
Every little setback just fuels my fire inside
I’m built for the long run, watch me come alive
I’m not stuck, I’m just loading up my flight
Dreams on the runway under two A.M. city lights
⸻
Bridge
One day I’ll look back from a higher view
Skyscraper windows, sunrise breaking through
I’ll raise a glass to the younger me
Who bet it all on what they couldn’t see
All the miles, all the nights I drove alone
All the times I felt I had to do it on my own
They were bricks in the road that brought me here
Every doubt, every tear, disappearing in the rear
⸻
Chorus (last)
’Cause I’ve been running on two A.M. city lights
Writing my future in the darkness of the night
Every little setback just fuels my fire inside
I’m built for the long run, watch me come alive
I’m not stuck, I’m just loading up my flight
Dreams on the runway under two A.M. city lights
